In the next episode, we will cover healthy screen time habits for teens. Creating healthy screentime habits isn’t just about time management. As we will find out today, there is much more to consider. You will not want to miss this one! It's bold! Find out: Why screentime is the opposite of what a child needs Why iPads are one of the worst inventions ever Why kids are experiencing anxiety as early as 8-10 yrs old (or younger) Why co-viewing is always best What happens to our kids' brains after 30 minutes on screens Should we use screen time as a reward? What are effective and meaningful rewards? Why keeping our kids off screens is not sheltering them Why it's easy to underestimate the amount of time our kids are actually spending on screens Is there a connection between easy access to screens and addiction? Is screentime a neutral activity? How do video games affect our kids' brains? Does the record level of kids with ADHD have anything to do with screens?

Culture teaches young adults that failure is fatal and that purpose is only found in fame, fortune, or power, but as believers, we know that is a complete lie.

According to an analysis from The Washington Post, homeschooling has become the fastest-growing form of education in America. Consequently, many new homeschoolers may not be aware of the kind of local homeschool support they have. I invited Tara Bentley as a guest today to talk about the importance of state homeschool organizations, what they offer, and how you can connect with yours to find local homeschool support.

One of the topics that moms often ask me about is how to handle anxiety, children with anxiety, or both. I’ve seen anxiety on the rise in our culture and although I would hope that homeschooling would lessen the risks of that in our children, there are still many variables in the equation of our complicated lives that could contribute to feeling anxious. It’s important to get to the root of the anxiety, but if our bodies have experienced anxiety frequently enough, it can become chronic. Today I am sharing some tools that can help train our bodies to calm down so we can then work toward getting to the root of the problem.

I don’t think I know anyone who has been a believer for any length of time who hasn’t experienced a wound in their church life and experience. Some of these wounds are what I would call merely flesh wounds, but some are incredibly deep and can cause lasting damage. I’ve heard from countless moms who have experienced this, including friends, and my own family. It's easy to become bitter and cynical when it seems like we are the only army that wounds its own soldiers. However, I don’t think that is the whole story because that is not the God we serve and I can’t imagine that He would want us to stop at the point of our pain. But how do we heal? How do we trust again? Today Wes joins me again, this time to talk about healing from church hurt.
